Are these bulbs meant only for photography needs or can I use them in my garage. Would they last for couple years if used 5-6 hours a day continously?

I think they would work great for garages I use them in my grow room and I run them for 12-20 hrs a day and they work great

They're not much more than household bulbs. & last as long too. You can get them at Lowe's, Wal-Mart, home depot or on Amazon, online

I've had them in my backyard for over a year. Average 9-12 hours a night. All still working great. No failures so far. I'm very impressed with them. I averaged changing the old Halogen bulbs about every 6 months.

I think that the bulbs will last a long time and you won't need to replace them any time soon. I do know that it is 100% lifetime guarantee on them. I believe that the company would replace them should anything go wrong or they stop working. You might want to check with the company on what their guarantee is.Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

Mine are electricly powered and the bulbs have lasted some 5 to 6 years. I was so impressed that I ordered three more sets

The Chromolux Full Spectrum bulbs will last 3-7 years depending on the average daily use. They are an excellent value and the most beneficial form of lighting.

i am currently using these in almost that exact fixture without any problems. you might find however (unless you set the motion timer to stay on a reasonable time when it is tripped) that the bulbs will not last as long as they would in a fixture that is turned on for a reasonable period of lighting time and then off. in my case the lamp is lit from approximately dusk to dawn continuously and they have lasted an extremely long period of time.

As long as you have a grouping of these (three or more) you'll get plenty of light. These bulbs burn out often so take that into account. If you have 4-6 bulbs, you can expect to replace more than one every year.

I use these every night, on 500 lumen, for about 7 minutes. They last about 2 weeks on average. Same with other brands. The other settings will work a while longer but I need the bright light.

I watch television approx. 10-12 hrs daily. The bulbs have lasted about 4 years each.

The light tube last 5 or more years. They do not need to be replaced after each shoot.

The box says no, but I have several in a rather large enclosed outdoor fixture. Heat build up may ultimately shorten the lifespan of the bulb but they have been up and running for 4 - 5 hr per day for about 4 months without a problem. The fact it has been winter has probably helped things.

I also bought this to photograph jewelry. I'm not sure if they are daylight bulbs, but the lights don't work well for photographing jewelry. They are too small and not powerful enough. To get good jewelry photos you might have to buy some other lights. But keep in mind that I'm not an expert and there may be a way of making it work. Good luck!

These bulbs seem to last a long time. We've used 2 of these bulbs in the last 6 months in our kitchen fixture and we leave that light on for 8 hours every night. We were gone on vacation for 5 days and the lights were still working after being on constantly day and night.

I don't know for sure but I don't think so. These bulbs don't have a real long life span. I have them in small pot lights as outdoor lighting, so they are on for about 7 hours a day 7 days a week. They last about 15 to 20 days.

If they were more reliable, they would be fine. We use(d) them to light interviews in a dim room about 2 hours a week. However, we bought 2 kits (6 lights) and 3 of them have ceased to function. We have had them less than a year. Additionally, they tend to blow through bulbs pretty quickly. They were good to get us started but we are ready to upgrade to better quality.

The information on the LED bulbs says they last for many years, something like 20 years if left on 6 hours a day. I will be dead by then. Sure, whenever theynburn out you would just unscrew and replace like any other bulb. The ones I have give a light like daylight and are great. I am so pleased with them.
